Normal Personality - The MBTI®

Instrument

Developed by Katharine C. Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers.

Based on the work of Swiss psychologist C. G. Jung, who presented his psychological type theory in his book Psychological Types (published 1921, translated into English 1923).

Jung’s Theory – Preferences……

• Preferences – innate, “inborn predispositions.”

• Preferences interact with and are shaped by environmental influences:

• Family

• Country

• Education

• and many others

Jung’s Theory

• Four pairs of opposites—e.g right and left hands - use both, but one is our natural preference.

• Preference basics do not change—they stay the same over our lifetime, e.g. always a RT hand

• But, how we use our preferences and often the accuracy with which we can measure the preferences may change.

• Confounding variable—environment!

Myers-Briggs (MBTI®)

"The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung (1921/1971) understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment."

Myers-Briggs (MBTI®) • Perception involves all the ways of becoming

aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas.

• Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived.

• If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interests, reactions, values, motivations, and skills.

Myers-Briggs (MBTI®)

The aim of the MBTI instrument is to identify,

from self self-report of easily recognized

reactions, the basic preferences of people in

regard to perception and judgment, so that the

effects of each preference, singly and in

combination, can be established by research and

put into practical use.

MBTI® & Jung’s Theory

• Four pairs of opposites—like our right and left hands. We all use both sides of each pair, but one is our natural preference.

• Jung believed that our preferences do not change—they stay the same over our lifetime.

• What changes is how we use our preferences and often the accuracy with which we can measure the preferences.

• The confounding variable—environment!

How people take in information | S–N

People who prefer Sensing:

• Prefer to take in information using their five senses— sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste

People who prefer Intuition:

• Go beyond what is real or concrete and focus on meaning, associations, and relationships

We all use both ways of perceiving, but we

typically prefer and trust one more.

“To expect the MBTI instrument or

any other instrument to provide all

of the answers to a career search is

improbable and unrealistic. It can be

only part of the puzzle in finding

one’s life’s work.”

“Whatever the circumstances of

your life, whatever your personal

ties, work, responsibilities, the

understanding of type can make

your perceptions clearer, your

judgments sounder, and your life

closer to your heart’s desire.”
